this will be a good location to publish your locations.


The Empire is maintaining A fuel station at:

Jupiter (sector 0,0) selling  fuel + meds

I have a small fuel depot at Eta GJ 674 with enough fuel to get someone back to Sol if they need it.

I'll be setting up some after novas are brought in. They will be out in the 4th ring.  I have plans for 8 station public fuel stations.  The reason i am waiting for novas is I am hoping expansion will also be in around that time.  Also there will be new places to get resources then.  When I do set them up though I will request others not mine in the same systems. Just to avoid having it go nova early. That way the stations can continue to serve the public at the same locations longer. There will also be a small defense outpost sharing orbit with the stations. Just in case any pirates decide they may want to try to go after it.  It won't be huge in power like many of our ships.  Just large enough to give a decent enough timer that it might make others feel it isn't worth going after if they are looking for profit.  If they aren't looking for profit, then they may of course use QP to speed up the timer. I am hoping though they will at least let the timer count down. This would of course allow me time to get any nearby ships I may have there to help defend it. 


Dadds I know we have an agreement on public stations. This is not intended in anyway to be a military build up or a military base. I just don't like the idea of leaving refueling stations completely defenseless.

Since i am declared public enemy number 1 it would be unwise to put military posts around the 4th ring. I am an honorable man however and i can decide against hitting civilian targets if that is all that they are. if the base is for general public use then IMG will not destroy it. You must declare it to be so protected, however.
How you deal with "pirates" is your concern, if you want to go legit. Military posts will be hit by IMG

These will be public outpost. The defense stations simply for defense. Not for Military purposes. Just a good stop along the way for people who need fuel and can be sure that the station is more likely to remain there for quite some time.  When I set them up I will be sure to post on the forums the location of the public stations so people know where to look for them.  Unfortunately this does mean pirates will be able to find it a lot easier.  Hence the need for those defense stations.

you may employ all the rhetoric you wish.

to date only 2 captains have published the locations of their stations.

and neither of them are Dadds or JJL.

Just out of curiosity, do these stations turn a profit?

I've made a fair bit of use out of the station at Jupiter, so I can imagine you're dragging in a bit of money :p

the fuel and meds come from 'nest' missions.

Ah that makes sense.  I focus a lot more on SOS missions than I do on COM's, so I use a lot more medicines than I find.  Guess if you played the opposite way, you might end up stockpiling them up.

Well I'm glad its worthwhile for you, we definitely need more people putting down roots.  Maybe that'd convince Emi to let us trade resources player to player  puppyeyes

Do prices actually increase the further you get from Sol?

not mine...

...the 'emergency' fuel resupply - yes,  but not mine, or those of any other players, (those prices are 'locked' into the system)...

Been there, done that. Started to set up a public refuel for all to use but it seems the public preferred the cheap profit of reporting my position to enemies of the state. So the public be damned now! Those few who are genuine friends and have honour know where to find me

That is because I haven't set any up  yet.  I am waiting on novas so I won't have to worry about relocating the station.  Once I start putting them up you can be sure that I will post their locations.
